| 2 | Purpose |
|---|
| 3 | ------- |
|---|
| 4 | This demonstration case can serve to different purposes: |
|---|
| 5 | |
|---|
| 6 | 1) The main one: study of the advection of a patch of ice in a bi-periodic channel with a slab ocean (i.e. 1 ocean layer) |
|---|
| 7 | ==> set ln_icethd=false in namelist_ice_cfg |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | 2) Secondary: study of ice thermodynamics in the same basin |
|---|
| 10 | ==> set ln_icedyn=false in namelist_ice_cfg |
|---|
| 11 | ==> eventually change usrdef_sbc.F90 in MY_SRC to fit your needs |
|---|
| 12 | |

| 14 | Experiments |
|---|
| 15 | ----------- |
|---|
| 16 | Two experiments can be configured: |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | a) A simple channel at 3km horizontal resolution (slightly variable => +- 10%) |
|---|
| 19 | ==> remove key_agrif in cpp keys |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | b) Same as a) but with an Agrif zoom in the center 1:3, and 3 ghost cells |
|---|
| 22 | ==> add key_agrif in cpp keys |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | ---------- |
|---|
| 25 | How to run |
|---|
| 26 | ---------- |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | a) Compile and run the model once to get a mesh_mask.nc file with the following command: |
|---|
| 29 | ../../../makenemo -a TEST_CASES -n ICEDYN -m X64_ADA -j 4 |
|---|
| 30 | poe ./opa -procs 1 |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | b) Create the initial condition file for sea-ice (initice.nc) by running this python script: |
|---|
| 33 | python ./make_INITICE.py |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | c) Run the model a second time |
|---|
| 36 | poe ./opa -procs 4 |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | --------------- |
|---|
| 39 | What to look at |
|---|
| 40 | --------------- |
|---|
| 41 | In case of purpose 1, One can test |
|---|
| 42 | --- |
|---|
| 43 | a) the advection scheme: Ultimate-Macho (ln_adv_UMx=T) versus Prather (ln_adv_Pra=T) |
|---|
| 44 | for a square (ice concentration) or a gaussian (ice volume) |
|---|
| 45 | with either a constant velocity (ln_dynADV=T) |
|---|
| 46 | or a constant ice-atm. stress, thus velocity is calculated by rheology (ln_dynRHGADV=T) |
|---|
| 47 | with 1 or 5 ice categories (jpl=1 or 5) |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | b) the advection through an agrif zoom 1:3 |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | In case of purpose 2, one can test conservation of properties: |
|---|
| 52 | --- |
|---|
| 53 | c) ice should not change at all if surface fluxes = 0 and SST = freezing temperature |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 56 | Interpretation of the results (remarks) |
|---|
| 57 | -------------------------------------- |
|---|
| 58 | - Prather conserves the max values but also creates side lobes |
|---|
| 59 | - UM does not conserve the max but does not create side lobes |
|---|
| 60 | - The "unmoving" ice (if any) is due to ice rheology which states that ice mass below a certain thresold (1kg/m2) is considered to move at the ocean velocity (thus 0 m/s) |
